What people love about Kansai Tours
- Legend of Japan
It was fantastic. Marion was an amazing tour guide.
- Legend of Japan
Excellent tour! I had such a great time with TruTravels. Our tourguide Marion and Claire were such sweethearts and gave a lot of tips and advice and a lot of history information. My group also so cool and we had so much fun for 12 days, time was flying so fast! This tour is great to discover the most popular places in Japan in a short time. I had no problems to travel with my group (with my luggage) and we did some additional activities like Teamlabs, Harry Potter Café, Nara Park, etc. I recommend apps like DeepL or Klook and also to buy a sim card beforehand as tourist sim card can be expensive in Japan (or maybe use eSim). The accommodation were also okayish, Tokyo and Osaka were a bit tight but the quality was good for the money. The activities like sushi workshop, kendo, tea ceremony, etc. were such amazing things and brought me closer to the culture. Overall I would book again with TruTravels, everything was great and amazing for my first time in Japan! ??
- Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka
Our tour guides David and Francisco were entertaining, informative and considerate. We had a great introduction to the highlights of Tokyo, Kyoto and Nara and thoroughly enjoyed our 5 day tour.

"Without a guide, it was hard to travel alone through Japan. I spent a fortune on taxis and without Japanese speaking English was even harder. You shouldn’t offer a tour without a guide.
